Officer Reports

From the Chronicler

Greetings from the Chronicler,

I need submissions for the Shadow Knows including covers, articles,
and notes and challenges.

I would like, with the A&S Minister, to set up and A&S web page.
I will then feature an article from the web page in the Shadow.
As an example, I have included an article that I have written for the
web on a settle I found in NC.

In Service,
Master Jin Liu Ch'ang.

From the Minister of Arts and Sciences

Greetings from the Shire of the Shadowlands

The following guilds are currently meeting:

Dance on Sunday nights on the A&M campus from 7 to 9 pm.

The dancing guild is now taking up donations for our CD fund
so we may learn more dances and begin acquiring performance level music.
If you would like to donate, please contact Lady Melissa at 691-6444, or
find the person with the collection jar at the meeting, or dance practice.
Spinner's and Weavers on Tuesday nights at Mistress Raisya's starting
at 7pm, contact Raisya, Abigail or Hennecy if you need directions.
Garber's Thursday nights at 8pm at Lady Melissa's (691-6444).

The following guilds are meeting by appointment:

Acting Guild meets by appointment, at Abigail and Diego's home.
Please contact Diego for directions.
Middle Eastern Dance - contact Abigail - there are currently 3 people
who are learning to dance on Thursday nights, but a second meeting time
can be set up until a larger space can be found.
Drumming - contact Diego

Though I'm still finding it difficult to believe, I will be leaving this
Shire at the end of the semester. I'll be heading to the Shire of
Vielburgen in the Kingdom of Drachenwald. That's right, we are "unofficially"
going to Ramstein, Germany when we graduate. We haven't received
our final orders yet, but that's where we'll be if nothing else goes wrong
(knock on wood). So, if anyone has requests for museums that have
particular artifacts in them that you are interested in just let me know.
I've got a digital camera with lots of 'film' and I'm sure I'll be visiting
all the museums I possibly can when we're over there.

However, this does mean that several positions will be coming
available in May/June. Since I didn't want to wait till the last
minute this time I thought I'd put out a notice to the list now.
I am currently the Minister of Arts and Sciences, Dance Guild Mistress,
and Garbers Guild coordinator. So, if you are interested in becoming
one of these please let me know. To be Minister of Arts and Sciences
you must be a paying member of the SCA, but its really not that expensive
(plus you get discounts to events like Gulf Wars, so it almost pays for
itself). The other two positions are Shire level and do not require
membership. If you are interested in any or all of these let me know
so the process of switching over can begin. In the case that there
are multiple people interested I believe it is up to the regional to decide.
Anyhow, I need to "apprentice" someone or something by the end of April,
around the 29th (I really want to stay Dance Guild head till at least this
date so I can bring back all the cool new dances I plan to learn at Gulf
Wars). So you see its not an immediate thing, but it is somewhat
imminent. I'll bring this up again at the next populace meeting.

In Service,
Lady Melissa
